Review of Teen Wolf

Teen Wolf (2011–2017)
7/10
Keeps getting better

I really didn't know what to make of this show when I first started watching; on the whole the way the story lines are paced are a little choppy and unusual, and at the beginning you feel the urge to groan out loud as you notice the familiar stereotypes take the stage: The mean, popular girl, the new girl love interest, the awkward geeky kid turned courageous hero, and his comic-relief friend. And then...everything evolves. Not a single character plays to their expected stereotype, and more than once I have been deeply impressed by the talent of the cast (notably Dylan O'Brian) as they face off against the badguys, the misunderstood good guys, the antiheroes, and the wolves in sheep's clothing. The cgi, the prosthetics, and the camera work rivals any supernatural movie I've seen in a long while. I think there is too much canoodling (people makeout and get it on without much hesitation--it's quite silly), and here and there the plot can get a little convoluted. All in all though it is fun to watch, packed with great folklore and mythology, and characters you can and will root for. A+
